So we've got Dudley today and tomorrow and Eunice on Friday so thought I'd start a thread. Dudley has barely hit here in Edinburgh and already there's a flight from LHR struggling to land.

There’s a Ryanair from Dublin going around at Leeds. The wind had died down a lot here in Manchester, but it has just picked up again.

Can't believe you guys have got me addicted to this app.

roarfeckingroarr · 16/02/2022 20:45

The Dublin -> Leeds is doing another loop

Just wait, from now on every unusual aircraft or helicopter that goes overhead you'll be like 'just wait I'll check this' 😆. We have a shopping centre where a few restaurants face the landing flight path and often when waiting for food we'll look on flight radar to see what's coming then wait till we can see it out the window. Very sad but fun 😆

Just had a look out of the window for Dublin-Leeds but I can’t see it! How high are they normally when visible?

QueenOfThorns · 16/02/2022 20:51

It’s going around again!

roarfeckingroarr · 16/02/2022 20:51

Turning again!!

comfortablyfrumpy · 16/02/2022 20:51

Leeds is looping again. Must be really awful conditions

Bexlily · 16/02/2022 20:52

@roarfeckingroarr

So how do you find a good one? Just downloaded the app.
At the moment look at the airports on the west - glasgow and Birmingham seem interesting just now. Click on the individual planes and it will tell you where they have come from and where they are going. Play around with it too I'm sure Edinburgh and Newcastle will have some interesting flights later too. Seems it's causing problems in Leeds too

easyJet Belfast to Birmingham is doing a tour.

Pinotpleasure · 16/02/2022 20:53

Watching flight FR156, Ryanair DUB to LBA (Leeds Bradford) circling round and round….

funnelfanjo · 16/02/2022 20:55

There’s an easyJet that’s going from Belfast to Birmingham that’s already had one go, and is doing a huge loop round - to approach from the south again?

It hasn't attempted to land at all.

roarfeckingroarr · 16/02/2022 20:56

NPT903 (jersey to guernsey) is currently near Coventry!

Not a hoax, either!
thankfook · 16/02/2022 20:59

I flew from Edinburgh to Luton at 14:45 today, landed at 15:50 was bumpy as shite.

I hate flying and haven't done it in years so i'm just glad to have missed the worst of this!

sparklecrazy · 16/02/2022 20:59

Watching the Leeds flight here too, let's go round again!

GracieLouFreeebush · 16/02/2022 20:59

Geneva to Manchester went back up at about 700 foot

CharlieLo · 16/02/2022 20:59

Geneva to Manchester just aborted its landing?

DazedandConcerned · 16/02/2022 21:00

Geneva flight to Manchester just had to abort landing.
